Stories for the 16 Round
1. Can Liverpool return to the dominant form?
Liverpool crossed the phase of the league, without finding any problems to win each game, except for its essentially dead game of day 8. The last months have not been exactly the navigation without problems for the reds, although fatigue has set a bit, they have not ruled out a lot of games and managed Restricted control has been the one that has given as once that Arne de Arne de Arne de Arne de Arne’s trade.
However, while Mohamed Salah is close, they will be difficult to count. The International of Egypt has up to 30 goals and 22 assists in all competitions, placing not only in the golden ball conversation, but perhaps elaborate the best season of an attacker of the Premier League. It will not be an easy feat against Paris Saint-Germain, but the French champions have been vulnerable during the season of the Champions League, and that could be the perfect configuration for Salah.
2. Madrid Derby, Edition of the Champions League
Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid will have to go through a place in the last eight, which is intriguing in their own right. However, the current state of both teams makes this a very fascinating draw.
The reigning champions can take some positive aspects of expelling Manchester City in the playoffs of the elimination phase, but this season has not been exactly simple for Real Madrid full of stars. Do not look for only the 2-1 defeat on Saturday against Real Betis in the League game, a game in which they were not only over 18-9 but also the opposition surpassed by the opposition. That loss came after A handful of key defenders returned from an injury, indicating that the imbalance that has affected whites for a year and the change could remain a little longer.
On the other hand, Atlético de Madrid has been a surprise contender both in the League and in the Champions League. They were within the first eight during the phase of the League and are currently just one point behind Barcelona in the League, finding a new life in Diego Simeone’s proven and true system. It helps their scorers have been in good shape throughout the season, with each of Julian Alvarez, Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorgeh scoring 13 or more goals this season. They present a formidable challenge to Real Madrid, which has not yet defeated this season.
3. Is Bayern Munich in good shape?
Bayern Munich may have advanced in the playoffs of the elimination phase, but a limited victory over a competitive Celtic side is not exactly the vote of the Trust Manager Vincent Kompany could be looking for in his first season in charge. The challenge of staying in the Champions League will become more difficult this week when they face the team that beat them to the Bundesliga title last season: Bayer Leverkusen.
These two faced the league game only a few weeks ago, a game in which Bayern was lucky to leave 0-0. Leverkusen generated 2.16 expected objectives, but somehow achieved No To score, while Bayern took only two shots and could not put only one in the frame. The eight -point deficit in the Bundesliga can be too much for them to overcome at this rhythm, but Leverkusen’s constant form in the league phase mocks that the products can have to obtain one in the Bayern.
As a result, Kompany’s side has much to demonstrate in this draw. There is a lot of discussion out there that they can hang in the Bundesliga very well, but they have not stacked exactly against European competitions. The 16 round offers the opportunity to correct the course, or demonstrate that they are one step back.
